1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Elevated blood pressure variability (BPV) is an emerging independent risk factor for increased cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Many studies are exploring the impacts of regular physical exercise on reducing BPV. This study aimed to investigate whether exercise can be an intervention to control for the short-term and long-term BPV. A literature search was conducted on MEDLINE, Embase, and PsycINFO on February 10, 2025. The clinical trials and other observational studies that investigated the effects of exercise on systolic and diastolic BPV were included. There were no limitations on age, blood pressure (BP) category, or the use of antihypertensive medication. Mean differences and standard deviations (SDs) of the BPV measurements were extracted to derive standardized mean differences (SMD) with a 95% confidence interval (CI). The heterogeneity was assessed by I
